Ready, Teddy, Pamper!

We had a pleasant surprise while doing a spot of shopping in Cheapside (top tip; all the offerings of Oxford Street and none of the crowds) when we wandered into Ted Baker and discovered Ted's Beauty Spot. This in-store salon (it literally is a free-standing salon built on the shop's ground floor) is perfectly situated for a spot of mid-shopping pampering. Treatments on offer range from threading, shellac manicures, eyebrow tinting and lash extensions and the beautifully designed surroundings - reclaimed wood panelling and soft furnishings in muted William Morris prints - make for a tranquil retreat from shopping. Utter bliss. 120 Cheapside, London, EC2V 7JB www.tedsbeautyspot.com
